CHARLESTON — A man is suing Whirpool Corporation and John Doe Company, manufacturing companies, citing alleged failure to warn and insufficient measures taken to prevent injuries.
Joshua A. Mitchell filed a complaint on June 21 in Kanawha Circuit Court against the defendants, alleging that they failed to comply with manufacturing industry safety standards.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on June 22, 2014, he was severely burned by a dryer designed, manufactured and serviced by the defendants, and claims his injuries resulted in physical pain and suffering, property damage, medical expenses, lost wages and loss of enjoyment of life. The plaintiff holds Whirpool Corporation and John Doe Company responsible because the defendants allegedly negligently designed, manufactured and distributed defective products.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants for compensatory and punitive damages, plus interest, costs for this action, attorney fees and costs, and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. He is represented by Trent A. Redman and Michael D. Payne of Redman & Payne in Charleston.
